I posted this on page 2. Whether glanced over, purposely overlooked, ignored or whatever I thought it should be reposted.

Anxious to see if anyone steps up to the plate or are they just going to complain and then head off to best buy when they get their check.

Here is an idea. Maybe all the members here who disagree with this rebate or dont want the govts money can agree on one or a couple of great
charities and you can take your rebate money and give it to those less fortunate or disabled vets or children in Africa.

It would not only show that you literally put your money where you mouth is, it would be a chance for others to benefit.

So instead of griping how the money could be better spent elsewhere, get started making a list of charities and spend that money in the places you
think its needed.

If the govt is screwing things up, then just dont talk about it, do something about it.

Sounds to me like your father raised a bum...literally.

Dude, what are you trying to do?

A bum, are you that dense?

Due to cirumstances beyond my control we were forced to live in our car for a short period of time, yes. I then went on to recieve my masters and now
live in a 2 year old, 3200 sq ft house and own two PAID OFF late model luxury vehicles. I have NO CREDIT CARD debt and earn more in a year then many
do in a decade.

No, not a bumb, just an honest person who refuses to steal from you, yet you make fun of me for that?

I refuse to be a thief and you think that is funny?

Get banned.

Only in your dreams sonny...think of yourself as an example of delusions...

And as for what am I trying to do..you talk of my family and ask me what I'm doing?

Grow a pair and lay off family in the future...unless your to dense to think that much.

So you want us to be happy about the theft of peoples earnings? You want us to give it to charities?

Look Robin Hood, how about not stealing it in the first place!

And BTW, how much money I make shouldn’t concern you. I shared what I wished and kept private what I wished, however I will tell you that your
assumptions are a little off. I paid taxes even with all my dependants I have never made $500,000 in a year.

Oh, I get it, we are doing personal insults now!

If you were insulted by the FACT that you are a thief if you accept money stolen on your behalf by the IRS then that is your problem.

Dont like to be called a thief, dont send others to steal on your behalf!

So long as you steal from me I have every right to call you what you are.

And if that is how your father raised then there is nothing I can do about it, but it does not change what he did. If he didn’t raise you that way,
then I feel bad for him; it would break my heart to see one of my children stealing just because it was the status quo.

I didnt say you were happy or would be happy but if its such a travesty, then turn the tables on them and give it to someone or some group that could
benefit.

As far as your income, I wasnt being a smartass, if you have 6 dependants then you should be getting money back. I am not a tax attorney but I have
some experience in this arena and was actually offering to help.

With 6 dependants you should certainly be seeing a sizeable return unless you fall into one of those 3 I listed.

Sorry, I went back over what I said and realized it didnt come out right. I put more into the system then I get back. I paid more than ten thousand
over the year in SSI and federal withholding and didnt get my ten thousand back, nowhere close to it infact.

Well, actually I was referring to your mention of my fathers parental involvement. So, as I said..lay of any mention of my family or expect a strong
rebuttal.

As far as calling me a thief...you a funny little man.
I have never had a need to ask anything of anyone. I have been well educated since childhood and as such, I am the person that creates jobs for others
to remove them as a burden on the system.

So, the fact that you couldn't do anything to correct you situation at the time, shows me that you don't have the resources to be preaching
others.

With that said, I am very against any form of welfare, food stamps or whatever. Though I know many that take their advantage.

I dont understand why you keep saying that they "took it from you." You still got the same amount of money back from the gov't as you usually did.
You got 600 dollars early, and then 2400 later in the year.....that still equals out to 3000.

I dont think that this is the same kind of thing though.....im pretty sure that we just get this money, and thats it.

I could be wrong though. I would think that they would say something about that in some of the many articles that are on TV and on the internet.

TRUE. You are right there. I understand that now. However, I didn't know that is what they were doing when they did it. So I made plans for
my money with my return and it wasn't all there. One big lump sum like I needed. I had already used the other money. I won't make that mistake
again.

Is that the reason you are posting so much anger and hatred ? Just for the
applause?

I could care less about getting applause.
Sometimes its not so much WHAT YOU SAY it's HOW you say it that gets a person's attention, but I guess you think that calling people thieves and
names is your way of getting attention.

Great we get 300-1200 dollars now.....................................OF WHICH WE WILL HAVE TO PAY BACK IN TAXES A FEW YEARS FROM NOW. I swear to God
the idiots in DC get DUMBER by the day....As do most of us.

Lewis Black once said something along the lines of " 500 dollars only makes you
realize how f***** you really are" Back during the last rebate mess. I agree..............If this passes I will stuff the money in a dancers G string
and have a awesome night....Not unlike most of the reps on the hill
